OK, let's see: women, gays, people with disabilities, people of various non-white races, and now the obese. Is there anyone left for Michael Scott to misunderstand, make or uncomfortable, or otherwise offend?

His sumo suit routine mid-way through tonight's premiere was something we've seen more than a few times: Michael hijacks an otherwise serious meeting to push his own warped agenda.

It's my only real complaint about the episode. Last year, we saw how weak these hour long installments could be -- "Money," for example -- but also how well the show could do them (like the season finale).

This episode picked up where that one left off, more or less, telling a story that takes place over several weeks (unlike most episodes, which happen during the course of a day or two). It did a nice job catching us up to most of the stories, and gave nearly all the characters some time to shine.

The Michael/Holly relationship-friendship remains interesting, Dwight's still Dwight, Andy and Angela's wedding will be a hilarious nightmare when it happens, and Jim and Pam...well, let's talk about that on the next page.

So yeah, they're engaged. I'm happy the writers didn't do what it seemed like they were doing, giving us a manufactured relationship crisis after Jim didn't propose last season. I'm glad Pam's new friend from school -- played by Mad Men's Rich Sommer -- didn't become the third point in a love triangle. Let them be happy, a little island of happiness in sanity in the middle of the rest of Dunder-Mifflin's supremely disfunctional couples.

Like Michael and -- to quote Oscar, the "clinically insane" Jan (who was happy that her candles were used at a vigil for a missing child). Like Kelly dating Daryl to make Ryan jealous. Like Angela, still seeing Dwight behind Andy's back as he plans their wedding, which if Angela has her way, will include a 1,000 year old church somewhere in the continental United States. (That laugh out loud line was Andy suggesting one place for the wedding because "That's where my parents decided not to get divorced." It came just a minute or so after his assertion that every boy fantasizes about their dream wedding.)

Last season was very uneven, and NBC hasn't sent us screeners of future episodes. I'm not sure how long The Office can keep going; by the time the British version ended, the main character had shown he could change. As long as Michael does the same, and the leave most of the real cartooniness to Dwight, I'm hopeful.

Some other thoughts:

What was more disturbing: Michael's evil twin beard, or the fact that Angela wants "The Little Drummer Boy" to be the first song at her wedding?
